80s F350 models?

Hello all,

Have a couple of questions on F350s from the 1980s.

1) Were dually trucks a factory option back then (cab and chassis trucks) or are they all modified?

2) What was the biggest / most heavy duty rear axle that came from factory in F350s?

3) Are there any special designation F350s (bullnose or bricknose) that are more sought after for whatever reason? I'm thinking of the Camper Special in the 1970s.

Thanks!
O.

F350 dually cab chassis had a dana 70 rear axle, than in 1985 ford went to the Sterling rear axle.
4 wheel drive before 85 had ifs in front, after 86 had solid axle.
